Phil Ivey fell short of making the Aussie Millions Main Event final table this week. But he's still up more than $800,000 since he made the trip to Melbourne. We'll bring you that story, plus the first two players to join the Premier League VI lineup, in this edition of the Nightly Turbo.

There were few changes in the top 10 of the Global Poker Index this week. But that could change next week after Dan Shak's amazing run at the Aussie Millions. Mickey Doft breaks down the latest movement in the GPI rankings.

Ivey Ivey Ivey

How does Phil Ivey cope with busting out of a major poker tournament? By making nearly $600,000 playing online cash games. That's how.

Shortly after he finished 30th in the Aussie Millions Main Event on Thursday, Ivey hit the high-stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker and made $589,000 playing mixed games, pot-limit Omaha and no-limit hold'em. According to HighStakesDB.com, Ivey has made $818,000 on FTP over the last three days, bringing him out of the red for the first time since the site relaunched in November.

Ivey's biggest win on Thursday came in a $300/600 no-limit hold'em heads-up match against Alex "IReadYrSoul" Millar. Playing under the name "Polarizing," Ivey won more than $280,000 from the young Brit during a one-hour session. The session produced three six-figure pots, all of which were pushed to Ivey. The biggest came when Ivey's held up against Millar's after Millar called Ivey's five-bet shove preflop. The board ran out , sending a pot worth $135,598 to Ivey.

I love the format and unique events like this are great for poker. I’m honored to be invited and happily support the event and plan on winning it!”

The top three from each group will automatically go through to the final table, while the fourth and fifth seeds will square off in a series of heads-up matches (best of three) for spots in the eight-handed finale.”
